Tell the store what hardware you have (they will always say that it will be fine to get the sale) so that when you have issues you have a very good reason to return it without any restocking fees etc as it is not suitable and you are covered by the CGA.

I am just always be an advocate for get the elements that do their specific thing well. For instance if you simplify my own LAN there is the Draytek 120 bridging ADSL to pfSense (on a virtual box) and then a Unifi Pro doing the wifi. At the moment the galaxy s3 is the only thing using the 5Ghz but in general the whole set up is super stable and performs very well (there is a NAS, PBX and multiple DLNA devices in it too).In saying that, I had a small play with a fritzbox recently and I was very impressed with what it did in terms of VoIP and DECT. It was the 'older' 7340 but still seemed very feature filled. I would go for a fritz! if you want an all in one device.

I'd just get an all-in-one ADSL/Wireless Router. One box, easy to configure, no messing around.

I use a TP-Link TD-W8960N ($100 shipped from Playtech/Computer Lounge/Ascent) and it's fairly robust.

Using a dedicated router (in addition to a separate ADSL modem, or at a pinch you can use your existing router as a modem only) will potentially give you more features e.g. bandwidth quotas for users/pooled IP addresses. It does increase the complexity, though - it just really depends what you want to achieve.

If all you want is something 'better' than your current device, then a ADSL Wireless Router is probably what you want.

i just bought the tp-link 8960 for 105 included postage.easy to set up, fast speed, no problemshttp://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=MODTPL8960&name=TP-Link-TD-W8960N-300M-Wireless-N-All-In-One-ADSL2
